2025 Stock Market Crash: New Tariffs Shake Global Economy
Trump's new trade tariffs sparked a 2025 stock market crash, causing panic and losses across global markets. Experts call it the worst drop since the 2020 pandemic.
In early April 2025, the global financial markets were rocked by a sudden and sharp downturn following the announcement of new trade tariffs by U.S. President Donald Trump. On April 2, the markets opened to a wave of sell-offs, with major indexes like the Dow Jones and S&P 500 losing between 8% and 10% in just a few days.
The newly imposed tariffs primarily target technology and automobile imports from China and several European countries. The decision triggered widespread concern among investors and analysts, who feared a potential trade war and further economic instability.
Several multinational corporations saw their stock prices plummet by up to 15%, with tech and automotive sectors taking the hardest hits. Financial experts are already calling it the most severe market crash since the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020.
Analysts warn that the combination of inflation, rising interest rates, and geopolitical tensions could keep markets volatile in the coming weeks. Investors are urged to remain cautious as the global economy adjusts to these new trade dynamics.
